MERs/Coronavirus - watching? Will it change your behaviour if it shows up in Canada?

Healthcare professionals that work for the government and at the head of the government is Trudeau.

[fishermccann]

And he is doing what our Canadian health care professionals say is an appropriate response. Do you want him to go against the health care professionals? What would you say then? Why does he not follow our health professionals advice?

[JMatthews]

I am definitely not a fan of Donald Trump but at least he was smart enough to allocate millions of dollar NOW towards the Coronavirus. Trudeau could do the same thing today for what may happen in the future.
The governments also need to have something in place to make sure people are paid if they have to be quarantined. It’s easy to tell someone they shouldn’t go to work if they are sick but the reality for many people is they cannot afford to be off work if they are not paid.

[fishermccann]

You mean like the two paid sick days that ford removed from legislation?

What most don't realize: in the face of a National Pandemic the GOC will always paint a rosy picture, we are studying, we are taking proactive measures. Even while the virus spreads out of control (not saying this will happen). The GOC will never admit, nor create fear, with panic statements - it is not productive to mass panic.

Imagine with all the TP, and other mass hysteria purchasing going on if the GOC fed into that with a Doom and Gloom warnings. SO anybody expecting the GOC to do anything for them is deluded (it will be in self preservation mode). Our healthcare system is not designed for a pandemic - and it will collapse very quickly if we get to the images I have seen from Chinese hospitals (real or not), the system can not handle a mass influx. If it gets that bad, we can't magically ramp up 1000 Nurse or PSWs overnight, because they dont exist. Those Nurses and PSW's outside the public healthcare facilities are working in the Private Nursing home and Agencies, and won't be abandoning their patients either - unless GOC ordered - see the problem...

How many young moms/dads will actually show up to healthcare work if they think they will die or risk their children dying when coming home. It is not like China who were forced hospital workers at gunpoint to keep those staff at work.

People have no idea, how a bad type pandemic will play out - and the government has no plans to deal with that. Rest assured like Italy - China the GOC will close all major in/out routes to quarantined cities, impose Martial Law and use the military to do so. -----Quarantine/Contain by force if needed----

There is no plan to save you, only contain, restrict and prevent further spreading. They cant do anything else, if it gets to pandemic point.

You are on your own - and best be a prepper - best have the capability to treat with antibiotics (fish), have stored food, water, hygiene, medical, and self defense measures for at least 60 days to ride out the worst of it (if it gets bad - I still do not think so). I have not bought a single thing while the rest are panicked and being driven like a herd of lemmings off a cliff. If the Ice Storm 98 taught me anything was to have 30 days of food stored.

For me - if it gets that bad - close up the house and emerge 30 days later.

And how would this be different, if it were the cons. instead of the libs. in power?

Why is healthcare in such a sad state.

I doubt it would matter. Serious illness with the potential to be a pandemic is much bigger than any political idealogy. Keeping the citizenry calm in the face of wide spread media sensationalism would be paramount,especially,with the proliferation of speculation-driven "fake news."

Just ignore FMC... ideologues aren't worth the time and just get angry if you tell them the truth.

He's the farthest thing from being a leader. He's the most useless PM who is doing nothing at all to protect Canadians from the virus.

A new scam

Canada's approach differs from the protocols adopted by some of our closest allies.
...
Conservative health critic Matt Jeneroux said the government should consider steps to contain the virus, such as more vigorous screening processes for people entering Canada, mandatory quarantines for those arriving from high-risk countries and suspension of incoming and outgoing flights from high-risk areas.


Unicorns and Happy Days from Justlied as usual... #FakePM .... nothing to worry about, just wash your hands... a few people watching at the airport and Union Station could dramatically affect the spreads speed... but we can't expect intelligence from this gov't SO... it might help so just remember...
